You Can Dance: Po prostu tańcz! (You Can Dance: Just Dance!) is a televised Polish dance competition with a format based on the American show So You Think You Can Dance. Dancers compete to win PLN 100,000, and a 3-month scholarship in dance school Broadway Dance Center and International Dance Academy in Los Angeles from season 7 on. The winners to date are (in order of season): Maciek "Gleba" Florek, Artur Cieciórski, Wiola Fiuk, Ania Kapera, Jakub Jóżwiak, Dominik Olechowski, Brian Poniatowski, Mateusz Sobecko and Stefano Silvino.
As with most entries in the So You Think You Can Dance franchise, dancers are chosen by expert judges who pick an initial pool of talent from open auditions. In the polish iteration, these dancers (usually numbering 36) then travel to advanced multidisciplinary workshops in countries abroad (equivalent to the 'Vegas Week' or 'Boot Camp' portions of other So You Think You Can Dance shows). Over successive waves of choreography rounds, the judges ultimately select 16 (seasons 1-4) or 14 (seasons 5-present) contestants to compete in the live competition shows. In the live portion of the competition, the Top 16 or 14 dancers compete as couples in duets and in group routines, competing for home viewer votes, with a bottom three couples picked by judges most nights and the male and female dancers garnering the least votes being eliminated. Each Season ends with a Top 3 or Top 2 finale.
The open auditions, the first stage in determining a season's finalists, take place in 5–6 major Polish cities each season and are typically open to anyone aged 16–30 at the time of their audition. The cities where auditions are held change from season to season but some, such as Warszawa and Gdańsk, Wrocław have featured in most seasons. This stage is divided into two parts: first is the pre-casting phase, in which dancers perform an improvised routine to the music given by pre-casting judges (usually choreographers). Dancers chosen to advance to the next round receive a blue wristband. During this next stage, dancers perform their routine (typically a solo, but duet and group routines are allowed as well) before a panel of show judges. This panel then decides on-the-spot whether the dancer demonstrated enough ability and performance value to proceed further. If the dancer exhibited exceptional ability in their performance, judges award a "ticket" to the next round, (the workshops), which are held each season in a city outside of Poland. Alternatively, if judges are on the fence about the dancer, they will ask the contestant to wait until the end of that day's auditions to participate in a short test of their ability to pick up professional choreography.
